This is not quite accurate either:

I've attached a photo from the Toyota Georgetown KY plant where they make:
- Camry
- Camry hybrid
- Solara
- Venza
- Avelons
It is a fascinating tour I've been through three times. They essentially treat all solid and liquid waste so none is passed on to landfills. If you ever get a chance,
it is a terrific tour.
Fortunately, we have price-preformance data available from the EPA and vendor minimum MSRP:
FAMILY SIZE SEDANS
EPA Hwy , Combined , Make , Model , MSRP
45 , 46 , Toyota , Prius , $22,000
34 , 34 , Toyota , Camry Hybrid , $26,150
34 , 29 , Chevrolet , Malibu Hybrid , $26,225
34 , 29 , Saturn , Aura Hybrid , $27,045
It is amazing that the most fuel efficient vehicle is also the most affordable. A buyer can pay more and get less mileage in the EPA Family Size Sedans. Very clever people, these Japanese.
